Abstract (en)

Optical recording disk which comprises a disk-shaped substrate plate which on at least one side has an amorphous recording layer, in which the substrate on the side of the recording layer comprises surface discontinuities having diametrical dimensions from 30-300 nm and a level difference with the substrate surface from 8 to 80 nm and in which the recording layer has a maximum thickness of 50 nm. By exposure to laser light modulated in accordance with the information, very small holes (bits) can be formed in the recording layer while using small amounts of laser light energy. For example, the surface of the substrate is roughened or provided with scratches. The substrate may also have a separate coating layer comprising the discontinuities, for example, an inhomogeneous vapour-deposited layer, a coarse granular layer of a dye or a light-cured lacquer layer which is roughened or provided with scratches.
